Kyle Mayers has done reasonably well for the team while Krunal Pandya has looked sharp from time to time. When it comes to the bowlers, Mark Wood is very likely to make his return to the playing XI while Ravi Bishnoi can be extremely dangerous against his former team.

Meanwhile, there’s no confirmed news if Shikhar Dhawan will be making his return in the match against Lucknow Super Giants. However, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran and Jitesh Sharma have done really well in Dhawan’s absence and with the ball, Arshdeep is in the race to win the IPL Purple cap.
